What one book would you want with you if you were stranded on a deserted island? This question has been posed to me more than once in my life. My answer has been the same for at least the last twenty years: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare. (What? It comes as a single volume--it counts!) Why? History, language, and sheer entertainment value. And really, if I was to be stranded for years with only a single volume, I'd want something with both drama and comedy, murder and magic. Wouldn't you? Or would you? Tell me: What one book would you want with you in this scenario? Share in the comments!
Have a happy and safe holiday weekend--I'm back next week with reading challenge updates and reviews!

So I wouldn't run out of reading material, I would pick a good encyclopedia -- and though it would be multi-volumes, I think it should still count as one book.
